Loving Language Part 2: Harsh Words

LOVING LANGUAGE PART 2 : HARSH WORDS

In part 1 I came to the conclusion that love is about positive emotion. When we feel positive about something, it is easy to give love. However, inevitably in life we will have thoughts and feelings about ourselves, and others that are by nature, negative. All of us are given negative feedback from other people from time to time, and that's OK if the criticism is constructive. However, most of the time, criticism is constructive. However, most of the time, criticism is harsh, destructive and hurtful. There are many relationships out there that use hurtful language to each other. I for one have been involved in many relationships where both of us have used hurtful language and even done hurtful actions towards each other. It's amazing how 2 people who were once seemed inseparable can suddenly break each other apart just because on person or both was unable to use language wisely.

When we are speaking to another person, we have to remember that we can provoke an emotion in that person which can be detrimental to the relationship later on. Language is a powerful tool. If it's used in the right way, you will gain countless benefits, If you use it wrongly the there will be endless problems.

We can literally change the world through the nature of our language. Harsh words create friction, conflict and even war. However, with loving compassionate language to ourselves and others and care about how we speak to other people, we can make our world a better place and even heal the world of it's problems.

I will write about the positive effect of loving language in the next blog of this series.
